This research paper aims to study how classic Shakespearian plays are rich and suitable material to be introduced to children to read and enjoy. Two Shakespearian comedies: The Tempest and A Midsummer Night's Dream will be examined to show how they are read and enjoyed nowadays by children as well as their older parents. This is because both plays have fairytale material that is rich with interesting elements like songs, music and dance. They can be reintroduced to children and still achieve the same successful impact on the young minds raising imagination and excitement. The two most successful elements of fairytales: magic and humour are utilized to present an abundance of interest and laughter through reading Shakespeare by children.  Children can experience a variety of themes in a fun context that is also educational, especially when using the ‘creative dramatics' technique. Simplified and adapted Shakespearian plays will not be a grown-up literature text read by adults only, but will also be read by children, imagined, understood and enjoyed.
